About

Hi there! I'm a technology leader with over 15 years in defensive coding, cybersecurity, and fintech. My career spans banking, payments, credit card processing, and startups, where I led global teams to deliver secure, scalable platforms. Excited to share with you my journey, and how you can achieve the same through guidance.

I was part of the core engineering teams that launched Fundsupermart, Shopee, and Trust Bank Singapore, building mission-critical systems in high-growth environments.

I am also the author of three books on AI/ML in finance and secure coding.

Here's what you can expect from my mentorship:

📚Learning and Development:
- Deep understanding of your career goals.
- Goal setting and a development plan to help you get to the position that you’re looking for.
- Resources, tips and motivational quotes to fight for the role that you want.
- Guidance on implementing AI solutions such as agentic systems, chatbots, and LLMs.

💼Help you navigate a work situation:
- Insights from my extensive experience working with cloud architecture and security.
- Regular discussions to challenge your thinking and broaden your perspective.
- Technical discussions such as solutions engineering, algorithms, cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity practices with your work. All discussions are confidential.
- Provide advices on resolving a technical problem.
- Review technical documentation and papers with you.

🔍Searching for a job:
- Throughout my career I have interviewed 100+ contractors and candidates for tech roles, and I know what to look for that makes a great candidate.
- I have went through interviewing processes at top US companies such as AWS, Google, Microsoft, Facebook. Happy to share those experiences.
- Help prepare for job interviews and career transitions in this competitive market.
- I run a licensed recruitment agency in Singapore. I can advise on salaries in the current job market and provide coaching on salary negotiation to get the salary that you deserve.
